I just got the car and it has probably one of the ugliest wheels Ford ever made on it. I am looking to change but I kinda want something different than the normal "mustang" wheels. I kinda have narrowed it down to the following

The SSR are probably without question the best quality wheel but I am not sure they fit a mustang look. I think I like the Ruff Racing 278 the best but I am questioning the quality since they are an ebay wheel. If someone could do a photo shop that would be awesome.

Here is my car



TSW Thruxon - Anthricite 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $800


Kazera KZA - Silver 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $670

 

SSR GT7 - Anthricite 18 X 9.5 - $800 (tire rack closeout regular 450 each)


Ruff Racing 278 - Chrome 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $1000 shipped


Ruff Racing 278 - Hyperblack 18 X 8.5 and 18 X 9.5 - $750 shipped

 

i say go for the 3rd one

 

I think all those rims dont belong on a mustang.

 

Ill give my 2 cents and vote for the 1st set

 

My $0.02.. I don't care for any of them.

The second set is ok, but that's it imo. I really like Motegi Touge's.

 

dude...keep those rims. get springs, a light bar, mach 1 spoiler and grille delete and you are set to go. throw on that Mongoose kit that i believe u said u kept. 275/40 on the rear stock rims and you have one mean sleeper!

 

I punked out and ordered bullits. I Know I am lame, but I Know 100% for sure they will look great and they are just so cheap. I was having a hard time dropping 800 on a set of wheels I wasnt 100% would look good.

Here are my plans for the car thus far:

Appearance - Already have mach 1 chin and 14" antenna on order. Probably going to get grille delete as well. I have an appointment for next week to get her tinted as well. I am still not sold on the light bar, I like them but maybe not enough to drop 400 on one.

Power - I ordered a bassani cat-back today. I already have the t-trim kit I got for my 98. Looking to get a new bracket and pump then I will be done with the motor until it dies on me.

Suspension - I am undecided at this point. I want to maintain a good ride as my primary concern, I am not into drag racing the car but once a year or so. I like the twisties but not enough to shell out the dough needed to do it right. I am probably just going to get a set of springs and some nice shocks/struts and be done with it. I am looking for a 1" drop and not much more.

Wheels - Obviously the bullits, I got the 17s. I am going with 275/315 sumitomos again.

 

My opinion is the first two that you posted look just like Cobra wheels except not as nice looking.. so if u wanted one thats somewhat "different" than what everyone else does i would go with #3. #4 just seems to much wheel for the car in my opinion.

 

i have the chrome Ruff 278s and im real satisfied with them. i wouldnt have bought them straight up because of the price. i bought mine used with brand new tires for the price of just the rims new.

 

If you look at his Signature and the date of this post you would realize that he already bought wheels.
That is, unless you are just posting to offer your opinion.

 

i was only commenting on the wheels...i knew he bought bullitts. i was just commenting on how Ruff wheels are good wheels. just not well known in the mustang world. they are typically found on rear drive imports like 350Zs.

 

ahhhh, I see.
